This will be the forth installment of Lea instead of Lee. About 300 people have read this story so far, why is it that I only have 8 reviews? When I ask for your input, can you please give me some input, geeze, this is turning out to be more complicated than I thought. So a lovely visitor to this story told my that Clemy's parents are going to end up in Michigan, the thing is I don't really know much about Michigan, all I know is that you guys have a lot of snow and lakes up there. If someone from who has been to or lives in Michigan can you guys give me a moderately large city to stage her parents unfortunate death in*.
Now if you got to the couple of paragraphs from Clemy's point of view that was at the bottom of the author's note that I posted on Wednesday, you can see that my Clementine, isn't too similar to canon Clementine. She's a bit more jaded than in the game, the reason she's not so innocent and sweet like she is in the game is because of something called the butterfly or ripple effect, and it states that if you change one thing in a time line, even if it's something like stepping on a bug, you can change almost everything.
We changed Lee in to Lea, Lea was never married, Lee's (ex-)wife never cheated, the senator was never killed, Lea never got sentenced to prison, so she never rode in that cop car, and because of this chain of non-events I guess you could call them, she ended up riding in Ace's cab, so in turn Ace lived, because Ace's never told story in the game was that he was driving through a large city and both him and the person he was driving got over whelmed and chomped. So that is where Ace come's into the story if you don't like OCs.
So where does an almost Molly acting Clementine come into the picture, well you see just like the chain of events above, something happened when Lee turned into Lea, and that is the delinquent boys, who in the game was taught by Lee (I imagine Lee as a fun but no nonsense kind of teacher, the moment you do something stupid it'd be 'get out of my class room' before you got one of those pointing sticks to the back of the head), so with out Lee to curb the delinquent boys' prank pulling and trouble making ways, they ended up almost constantly harassing both Clementine and her parent's, so this gave Clementine a bit 'thicker skin' than most little girls so to speak, because she's had to deal with these collage guys almost contently picking on her, for about 2 years now.
On to other matters there are still several other questions in the previous 'chapter/author's note', if you guys can go and answer those for me when you get done reading that would help me a lot with writing the story.
You know what would suck more than anything, being in China in a zombie apocalypse, you would have no where to go, there'd just be zombies every where, and it's not like you could even out run them and hide, cause they'd just completely demolish your hiding place with shear numbers.
*(If they out right die and don't live and go searching for Clem, it's a story idea I've been thinking about and it would run parallel with this one, comment and tell me weather or not this would be a good story.)
Lea turned to the glass door at the back of the house of who ever's yard they where currently trespassing on. And started to walk towards it. What ever chased them through the woods was still at it, moaning and groaning, their feeble hands scraping and clawing at the tall gate. She wasn't really paying attention to them though.
Ace how ever stared wearily at the wooden fence, as if it would shatter into toothpicks and leave them defenseless at any moment. After the humanoids stopped making such a ruckus with their clawing he stopped looking so concerned about certain death.
"Come on, let's go see if any ones home," said Lea, walking up the steps onto the patio.
"Seriously, we just fled for our lives for a few minutes ago, from the undead of all things, and you want to go see if someone we're trespassing on is home," said Ace incredulously, "I'm calling the cops, or something, who ever would deal with something like this."
Lea just rolled her eyes, and knocked on the glass door, her sword, now closed, hung limply in her left hand. Frowning when no one answered, she tugged the dark wooden handle, and was surprised when it opened with ease.
"?" she turned arching her brow at Ace, and nothing but '?' could describe the look on her face.
She stepped into the hard wood floor and opened her mouth, "Hel-"
But her words where stolen when Ace put his hand over her mouth and gave a firm "Shhehshh."
"Mhmnnm?" she hummed behind his hand, that was big enough to almost span her whole jaw, and cover both her nose and chin.
"Sh, someone might be here and they might not be friendly," Ace hissed under his breath.
Lifting her petite hand, she brought it to Aces in irritation, grabbed one, and started pulling back slowly.
Ace flinched, and tugged off of her face, and out of her avenging hand.
"Oh come on, I doubt it can get much worse than, DuHhuh back there," said Lea snickering quietly, arms sticking out, waving slightly, and opening and closing reminiscent of the things that chased them through the woods.
"Sure it can," Ace muttering to himself, to quiet to hear, and thinking back on the redneck arse wipe that lived next door to him, and shot at any squirrel, raccoon, or bird that so much as looked at his balcony.
'I hope he got killed from those stupid zombie look a likes,' Ace thought vindictively.
"Fine then, lets look around, see if we can find anything useful," huffed Ace irritably.
With a nod Lea wandered into the living room, Ace following after her, not trusting the woman to be left alone and not open the door for anyone knocking, including Mr. My-face-is-rotting.
Looking off to a small table she saw a phone, and a blocky red 3 blinking on the little black screen. Shrugging, and reached out and hit the button.
"Hey Sandra, it's Diana. Look we're still at the hotel and we can't get back right now because of the heavy snow. We'll try to be back as soon as it clears out but that could be a few days, could you go shopping for groceries, thanks bye. Click- Booooooooooooooooo"
"Sandra? It's me Diana again, look we're at the hospital, Ed got bit by a strange homeless man. There's a lot of government people here and they won't tell us anything, can you look after Clem for the next week, I don't know when we'll be back. Click- Booooooooooooooooooooo"
"Cl-Clementine baby, listen Honey, I don't know what's going on, I haven't seen your father in days, I don't know what happened to him, or what's going on, but there is one thing I do know, and that is that we love you, we love you, we love you, we love yo- Chhhk- Brrrrri- Brrrrrri- Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiii-!"
Lea bit her lip, what if's appearing in her mind, 'Did the girl even live long enough to hear the message?' Shaking those thoughts out of her head, she turned to find a purple walkie-talkie on the floor.
She pushed the activation even though she didn't really expect it to work.
"Kshhhhh- Mom?" Came the voice of a little girl.
Lea jumped, then looked over to the kitchen where Ace had wandered off after deeming her responsible enough to stay in the living room alone without killing her self ("Why do you even care?" "I don't I just don't want to go nuts-o from isolation.").
"I'm sorry, but I'm not your mom, who are you?..."
I am sorry to say that this is all I got for this chapter, because my mother got new dog just 4 days ago (even though she was bringing her home before that to meet her first dog), and she is in heat and it is very difficult to keep her and my moms very breeding capable male dog separate. Let me just tell you right now, that no where is sacred, why does my moms dogs feel the need to do the hanky-panky in my room, I've got no fuckin' idea.
I'm sorry that this isn't as long as I wanted it to be, or as you guys wanted it to be, but at least you didn't have my experience and walk in on two dogs doin' the nasty like 5 or 6 times. What's worse is that I've gotta look after them til her heat cycle is up and we can get her neutered and that is only if she doesn't have puppies.
Well I hope you guys had a better week than I have. Hopefully this whole heat thing will be over soon and I'll get some peace around here and get back on schedule. Bye.
